      "title": "iommu/vt-d: Avoid NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niommu/vt-d: Avoid NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption\n\nCommit 60f030f7418d (\"iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE\")\nfixed a NULL pointer dereference in an unlikely situation partly.\n\nIf dev_pasid is not found in the dev_pasids list, it remains NULL.\nHowever, the teardown operations are executed unconditionally, this lead\nto a NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption.\n\nIf the domain was never attached to this IOMMU, info will be NULL, which\nwould cause an immediate dereference when checking --info->refcnt.\n\nEven if info is not NULL, decrementing the refcount without having removed\na valid PASID might unbalance the count. This could lead to premature\ndropping of the refcount to 0, potentially causing a use-after-free for the\nremaining active devices sharing the domain.\n\nFix it by returning early if dev_pasid is NULL, before executing the\nteardown operations.\n\nIssue found by AI review and suggested by Kevin Tian.\nhttps://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260421031347.1408890-1-zhenzhong.duan%40intel.com",
